Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup medium grain rice
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 yellow onion (chopped)
1 pound baby spinach
1 lemon, juiced
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 teaspoon dried mint flakes
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
Feta (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Rinse the rice well a few times until the water runs clear. Put the rice in a bowl and add water to cover it by 1 inch. Let is sit to soak for 20 minutes or until you are easily able to break one grain of rice between your fingers.
  • Heat ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil in a braising pan. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until soft and golden brown. Add the spinach, lemon juice, garlic, tomato paste, and a big pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Sautee the spinach until just wilted. Stir in the mint and dill weed.
  • Drain the rice well and add it to the pan. Add 1 ½ cups of warm water. Bring to a boil for 3 minutes until the water reduces a bit. Turn the heat to low and cover.
  • Let the rice cook undisturbed for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and fully cooked through and all the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Once cooked, let the rice sit covered for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
  • When ready, fluff the rice with a fork and garnish for feta and parsley, if you like.
